The upcoming season of “The Boys” has so many surprises, revelations and themes ripped from today’s front pages that some actors are wondering if their showrunner has psychic super abilities. | AP
Based off the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson from which the show also derives its name, the series follows The Boys, a small group of mercenaries, as they chase a popular and famous ensemble of A-list superheroes called The Seven.
This gory, not-for-kids action show features the superheroes, known as “supes,” as they chase glory often by immoral—and many times illegal—choices. Vought, a powerful and influential company led by CEO Stan Edgar is in full control of their images, marketing them to the public while hiding their dirty deeds. It was revealed that a formula called Compound V is what gives these heroes their powers.
“It’s really cool to explore very, very real issues from this slightly heightened and sometimes not-so-heightened from reality place,” Quaid said. “We don’t have to pretend that the world’s not on fire for our show.” Supe terrorists are also introduced, as Homelander helps get Compound V overseas in a ploy to instill fear in the American public and increase dependence on the supergroup. Viewers will meet new member Stormfront, a charismatic, social-media friendly woman whose presence fans the flames of bigotry.
